About

At Holden Buildings, Integrity is more than just a slogan. Our dedicated employees work hard to ensure that every building leaving our plant will meet and exceed your expectations.

Floor and Below

Everything under the floor of a Holden Building is pressure treated lumber. The 4"x6" skids provide a solid base and facilitate loading the building for delivery. Skids are notched 1" for greater structural integrity and for added height on the interior. Every building gets 2"x6" floor joists (no 2"x4" floor joists on any of our sheds, unlike our competition). Joists are set on 16" centers (12" centers on Garages) to ensure that weight is distributed evenly across the structure. Once the joists are in place and the edge band attached, the floor is squared before it is secured to the skids. Joists are then topped with 3/4" lifetime warranty AdvanTech Flooring (no thin 5/8" plywood on our floors!). This tongue & groove, engineered wood product is extremely durable, rigid and has revolutionized flooring!

Walls and Trusses

While many portable manufactuers try to save money by spacing their wall framing up to 24" (and even 36"), our 2"x4" stud walls are laid out on 16" centers (as in new home construction), then we add an extra double-stud at each exterior siding joint for maximum strength and rigidity. Lofted buildings get 2"x6" Loft joists (and larger) set on 16" centers, instead of cheaper 2"x4"s on 24" centers that our competitors put in many sheds . Rustic wood buildings are sided with 5/8" T1-11 siding sealed with Olympic 6/8 year sealer, and our painted buildings are sided with 50 year LP SmartSide. Also as in new home construction, our engineered 2"x4" trusses are laid out on 16" centers(another Holden exclusive feature) and set on a beefed-up top plate, constructed of a 2"x4" topped by a 2"x8", before being sheathed with 1/2" OSB decking. We use ring-shank galvanized nails for maximum strength and longivity while leaving no rust spots or stains.

Roofing

Metal or composition roofs are the same price.

We use CentralGuard 29 Gauge PRIME roof metal, more than triple the warranties of the Thrifty grade commonly used by virtually all of our competitors.

A full line of Tamko 30 Year Dimensional Shingles ensure that we have the color that fits you.
